Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Jose, CA (took a day)
It is only a phone interview with one of the hiring manger I think. I don't know why I can hardly hear him even though I was at a very quite place. He asked about how to calculate setup and hold time by giving some parameters in the circuit. Also, frequency divider by 3 with 50 duty cycle.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
Came to my career fair, had to answer a comp arch paper on the spot. The director then had me explain my answers. Got a call 10-15 days later. 1st phone interview was very tough, but i think it went well because i got a call for another interview in less than 24hrs. The 2nd was with the manager, he asked basic personality questions and technical questions, on my resume and a casual chat . I thought it went well, but I got a reject afterwards.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
The interviewer is nice, he gave a sheet and write my information, then answer the questions behind the sheet. There are two questions, one is about FSM, you should design a FSM with 5 bit, its function is to counter the even number of 0 or 1, e.g. 2, 4, 6.... The second questions is about Combination logic, to conter the first 1 bit in the 8192 data stream. the output it in 13-bit index. it is a little difficult!
